I took my partner on a trip to Hobbiton for his birthday and was sure to go on the first tour of the morning so we could some great shots without cpompeting with the crowds. The lighting at that time of day is also perfect, it really adds to the magic of the experience. I love this picture as it captures the three hobbit little hobbit holes, the party tree and the little hobbit jetty on the lake. Unfortunately there was a little too much wind for perfect reflections, but hey, we're all a little flawed are we not?
